Strasburg, Storen to open season at Double-A
Stephen Strasburg - S - Washington Nationals
March 20, 2010 - 9:55 AM ET
Nationals prospects Stephen Strasburg and Drew Storen will both open the 2010 season at Double-A Harrisburg.
Storen is arguably the bigger surprise here, but ultimately it was unlikely that either would break camp with the Nats. These two are the future of the franchise--ideally, their ace and closer for years to come--and GM Mike Rizzo wasn't about to do anything to jeopardize that. It's a virtual certainty that both will be up at some point during the year, it's just a matter of when.
